1
Q
What is contained in the Matrix of the Mitochondria?
A
- Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
- Citric Acid cycle enzymes
- fatty acid Beta oxidation enzymes
- DNA, ribosomes
- Many other enzymes
- ATP, ADP, Pi, Mg2+, Ca2+, K+
- Many soluble metabolic intermediates
2
Q
Which two electron carriers are reduced by the citric acid cycle?
A
- NAD–>NADH
2. FAD–>FADH2
3
Q
Alpha ketoglutarate is an important ant precursor for which enzyme mentioned in class?
A
Glutamate
4
Q
What enzyme from the citric acid cycle is also a component of the electron transport chain complex II
A
Succinate Dehydrogenase.
That part of citric acid cycle is integrated into internal membrane of the matrix and is part of the ETC
